Dear all,
Here i would like to share about h-Index and How to calculate h-Index.
A simple definition of the h-index
The h-index was originally defined by J. E. Hirsch in a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences article as the number of papers with citation number ≥ h. An h-index of 3 hence means that the author has published at least three articles, of which each has been cited at least three times. The h-index can also simply be determined by charting the article's citation counts. The h-index is then determined by the interception of the chart's diagonal with the citation data. In this case there are 3 papers that are above the diagonal, and hence the h-index is 3.
The definition of the h-index comes with quite few desirable features:

Here is an example of a table where articles have been ranked by their citation count and the h-index has been inferred to be 3.
